The Brookings website

A Brookings website that shows the work

A Brookings website has one job before anything else: show a buyer that the crew can handle the house they live in. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress sites for Brookings crews, and that proof sits at the center of the build. The median home value in Brookings is $265,500, and a buyer with that much at stake wants to see the work before choosing a contractor.

The median home in Brookings was built in 1986, so the projects a crew photographs often come from houses with a history. A finished roof or bathroom photo does not say what was wrong or what your crew did. The page around it should name the starting condition, the work and the reason the customer called.

Who is calling

Owners, renters and the Brookings housing mix

47.7% of occupied Brookings homes are owner-occupied, which means a large share of the occupied units are rented. A service business that works in rentals needs a site that tells a tenant how to report a problem and tells a property manager who to call for a quote.

19.6% of the city's housing went up in 2010 or later. A crew that works on newer homes should say so on a page of its own, with the systems it installs and the questions it answers, because the buyer in a newer house is looking for different work from the buyer in an older one.

The trades behind the pages

Which county trades need a project page

Brookings County lists 16 residential remodelers and 14 new home builders, and both sell work that a photograph alone cannot explain. A remodeler needs before-and-after pages with the scope, and a builder needs a page for the kind of house they build and the stage a buyer enters.

The county also lists 16 electrical contractors and five excavation and site-preparation contractors. An electrician's customer wants to know about the panel, the wiring and the timeline; a site-prep customer wants to see the ground you moved and the stage where a builder calls you in. Different pages, different proof.

The build

What a Brookings website project includes

You approve each stage, and nothing goes live until the forms and phone links have been tested.

1

Put the jobs in order

You pick the jobs you want more of and send the photos that show them, along with the towns your crews cover.

2

Write the page around the photo

Each project gets the starting condition, the scope and the result in plain words, not a caption that repeats the service list.

3

Test the phone before launch

Forms, call links and tracking tags get tested on a real phone, and the old addresses get a permanent redirect.

4

You take the controls

The site goes live with a private Loom walkthrough that shows how to edit text, swap photos and add a project.

What every Lithium website includes

The same eight parts go into every website build, wherever the business is.

A website and search result

Robinson Restoration: a site and an SEO program

The Robinson Restoration card covers the website Lithium built and the SEO work that followed, so the traffic and rankings shown there came from both. Daniel Busby, whose company Willard Power Vac cleans air ducts, dryer vents and chimneys, tells his own story beside it.

Websites beyond Brookings

A page for each town your crews cover

A town page is worth building only when the work is already there. The web design pages for Watertown, Sioux Falls, Aberdeen and Sioux City, Iowa, each show what that market looks like, and the South Dakota directory lists the rest. Start with the town that sends you the most jobs.

Published price

What a Brookings website costs

$5,000

typical project

Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch. You own the domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content.

FAQ

Questions before a Brookings website build

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

What pushes a Brookings website past the typical build?

More pages and more writing. A company with a page for each service and each town, plus dozens of projects to document, takes longer than a five-page site. The scope and the proposal come before the build starts, so the number does not move halfway through.

Who owns the site when it is finished?

The domain, hosting, WordPress install, content and page files are all in accounts with your name on them. If you leave, everything moves with you. Nothing stays behind with Lithium.

Will a new site hurt the rankings we have?

The old site gets an inventory first: which pages have links, which ones bring traffic, which ones are thin. Those decisions happen before launch, so nothing valuable disappears. Search Console is checked after the switch for crawl errors. Rankings can still shift, and no one can promise otherwise.

Can our team edit the site after launch?

The page editor belongs to you, and text, photos and new projects can be changed from a browser. The private Loom walkthrough covers the parts your team will use. Updates and basic changes can also sit with the optional hosting plan.

How much of our time will the build take?

Less than most owners expect. One kickoff call sets the scope, and after that the review points are the designs and the finished pages. Photos can come from your phone, and the service list from the jobs you already quote. We handle the writing.
